yeah i was just doing that since the same happened to me :p

Looks like reffering to the handle doesn't work though, atleast not for DELETE_MISSION_TRAIN

@khorio you need to pass a pointer, so instead of passing only "handle", pass "new IntPtr(&handle)" and after this the handle will be set to 0. You need to do this in unsafe context so enclose you code with "unsafe { }" and you might need to allow it in the project properties. The same for SET_MISSION_TRAIN_AS_NO_LONGER_NEEDED.

Learning new stuff, thanks :)

Passing just the handle for controlling the speed apparently works though.

Not all natives need a pointer, notice the parameter in DELETE_MISSION_TRAIN(Vehicle *train), it has an asterisk, that means that it needs a pointer.

Error    CS0212    You can only take the address of an unfixed expression inside of a fixed statement initializer  

Guess I'm still doing something wrong

Huh, I remember this happening with other things I worked on, try making a copy of the handle before calling the native, pass the copy and finally set the original handle value to the copy one in case the native has changed the value.:

uint handleCopy = OriginalHandle;
Native.Call... new IntPtr(&handleCopy)...;
OriginalHandle = handleCopy;

I've never had to use pointers for natives, even those with an asterisk. Just using the ref keyword seems to work in my experience, e.g. 

// definition from nativeDB: SOME_NATIVE_NAME(param1, *param1)

NativeFunction.Natives.NATIVE_NAME(thing1, ref thing2);

Perhaps it doesn't work in all situations, but it's worked fine for me so far everywhere I've encountered that.

That's nice to know :)

You must be a happy camper now, here are your trains :)

Hahaha. I'm not even home from work yet, but hopefully sometime this weekend I can check it out.

I think that ref only works using the dynamic Natives, not sure.
I'm more used to the CallBy methods and the new IntPtr(&handle) is how is done in the RPH examples and how I learn it, and when you only need to get values(i.e. a native to get a color) you can use &value only.

Just matter of preference, anyways the ref keyword is the C# way of passing pointers.

Now @LtFlash has to update his Transportation mod :P

Hah, that was my 1st thought. I need to check where are the junctions are though. It's disappointing that we can't change the state of any junction on the map but what we can do about it. Shame on you, Rockstar xD

Tracks positions are described in files in \common.rpf\data\levels\gta5\trains1..10.dat

• void SWITCH_TRAIN_TRACK(int intersectionId, BOOL state) // FD813BB7DB977F20 68BFDD61

This? or isn't that what you mean

This native is the one I need but 1) I got to know which junctions can be switched (according to scripts there are 12 of them), 2) I need to know them by ID. Got an idea how do make routes more visible and see where they interchange, I'll keep you posted.

TRAINS!!!!

lcpdfr.com converts from whacker forum to foamer forum in 3... 2... 1... 

Also, can I suggest that as we figure this out, maybe we could create an open source Trains project which could be on GitHub? That way everybody could benefit from the development.

Sure, why not. All I'm really interested in at the moment is how to load this train chock full of explosives :)

OMG TRAINS! There goes my weekend......

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you end up on a list at a three-letter agency. :P

Looks like you haven't played any of my callouts, i might as well rename it to "It goes BOOM!" 

If i can derail a train in the middle of los santos and create a massacre that blows bits off 200 peds into blaine county I will :p
